Comment on Little Lisp interpreter

Comments

Wouldn't it be more fun to write it in LISP itself?

You could, I think it would be more interesting to start with a bootstrap system, written in something native, that get's you the minimum you need to run lisp and then rebuild the system in lisp on top of that. Of course, that requires delving into some much more interesting topics like foreign funcitons, compilation, etc.
